Don't worry too much about the legroom issue. The seat can be easily modified to slide a little further back, and with more work it could be made to slide a lot further.
At least some of the earlier 100 cars (very similar cabin to the 200) had the option of huge front legroom. On my 1969 164, the driver's seat would slide right back until it touched the rear seat; I am 6' 5" and with the seat right back my feet couldn't even touch the pedals...
